    Why Your New Year Goals Are Already Failing | Desire vs Discipline

    Welcome to Season 4 of PF Unfiltered! We're kicking off the year with a conversation about the elephant in the room: why your New Year resolutions are probably already collecting dust. This isn't just another motivational podcast telling you to "work harder" or "manifest your dreams." This is an honest, biblically grounded conversation about the real reason most people don't achieve their goals and it's not what you think. Pastor Femi breaks down the hard truth: if you're not finding a way to get what you want, you have to question how much you really want it. The hosts explore the difference between saying you desire something versus actually pursuing it with discipline and sacrifice. From weight loss struggles to financial goals, from career aspirations to relationship standards, this episode tackles why we often choose comfort over the things we claim matter most. The conversation gets real about: Chapters 00:00 Welcome Back and New Year Reflections04:57 Desire vs. Discipline: The New Year Dilemma09:41 Setting Goals: Societal Expectations vs. Personal Aspirations14:56 The Complexity of Weight Loss and Discipline19:40 The Cost of Achieving Goals: Sacrifices and Tenacity24:17 Financial Responsibility and Control29:28 Discipline in Spending and Lifestyle Choices38:48 Desire vs. Discipline: Finding Solutions43:51 Marriage Goals and Realistic Expectations This episode is brought to you by Barrow Avenue Bakery - the cleanest bread in Dallas with only 6 ingredients (your grocery store loaf has 25!). When the Bible says "man shall not live by bread alone"... it clearly hadn't tried Barrow Avenue. Visit them for fresh artisan bread, cookies, and baked goods that make you question if bread is actually just a building block of heaven. #PFUnfiltered #ChristianPodcast #NewYearGoals #Discipline #ChristianLiving #FaithAndCulture #NigerianChristian #DiasporaFaith #Resolutions #SelfDiscipline #ChristianMotivation #PastorFemi #NewCovenantHouse #Season4Premiere

    Should Christians celebrate Christmas?

    Pastor Femi, Esther, and Kenneth tackle the most debated question in church culture with biblical truth and unfiltered honesty. The answer might surprise you. In this episode, PF breaks down 1 Corinthians 8 "idols are nothing" and explains why Christmas shouldn't be the scapegoat for pseudo-spirituality. The crew explores Christian freedom, why believers judge each other over holidays, and how we major in the minors while missing what actually matters. From debating turkey wings as Christmas food to discussing "Dirty December" culture in Nigeria, this conversation mixes theology, humor, and cultural commentary. PF even shares his complex relationship with Christmas after losing his mother on December 25th yet still advocates for celebration without guilt. The bottom line: Celebrate or don't celebrate but stop using holidays as spiritual one-upmanship. 💬 Where do you land on Christmas? Do you celebrate, skip it, or somewhere in between?

    Why Young People Are Leaving Church (And How to Find Your Way Back)

    "If you leave church because you are hurt, you never understood what church was about." - Pastor Femi Controversial? Absolutely. But before you comment, hear the full conversation. Young people are leaving church in record numbers—especially African immigrants and diaspora Christians who grew up in the faith. Pastor Femi, Kenneth, and Esther tackle why this is happening and whether walking away is actually the answer. **The Real Problem:** The church's message isn't relevant anymore. Prosperity gospel, performative religion, and outdated approaches don't address real-world struggles. Young people can get what church promises—success, happiness, community—without the restrictions. **The Internet Christianity Trap:** The pandemic normalized watching church online. But PF warns: isolated faith can't survive spiritual warfare. "You watch service for one hour, shut the screen—there's no interaction with anything spiritual. The devil whispers something, and there's no one there to challenge it." **Church Hurt—The Hard Truth:** PF's take: "Church is a hospital. We're all patients." Everyone is imperfect. You've hurt people. People will hurt you. The question isn't whether to leave when hurt happens—it's understanding that church is where broken people heal together. But here's the key distinction: Leave a toxic congregation if you must. Don't abandon the body of Christ. Find a church that fits—different worship styles, different emphases, but stay connected to community. **What We Cover:** • Why young African Christians are leaving church • The danger of YouTube theology and self-proclaimed teachers • Spectator church vs. real community • Accountability vs. forgiveness in church leadership • How to find the right church without church shopping • The woman caught in adultery: loving people into repentance **Key Quotes:** "Church is a hospital. We're all patients." - PF "How can you say you love God but despise his body?" - PF "YouTube made deconstruction fashionable." - PF "We don't abandon relationships; we try to make relationships better." - PF If you've been hurt by church or you're questioning whether to stay, this conversation is for you. **Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about faith, culture, and real Christian living.** --- ### Timestamps / Chapters 0:00 - Intro: New Covenant House Goes Viral 2:45 - Why Young People Are Leaving Church 5:05 - The Problem with the Prosperity Gospel Message 9:19 - Church Hurt: Why People Are Walking Away 13:24 - Internet Christianity & The Pandemic Effect 16:20 - The Dangers of YouTube Theology 18:43 - Self-Proclaimed Teachers & Bible Studies Gone Wrong 23:35 - The Spectator Church Problem 25:27 - Church Hurt: Should You Leave or Stay? 28:31 - Church as a Hospital for Imperfect People 32:05 - When Worship Style Becomes a Dealbreaker 36:55 - Finding the Right Church Community 38:55 - Accountability vs. Forgiveness in Church Leadership 41:24 - Loving People Into Repentance (The Woman Caught in Adultery) 45:03 - Final Encouragement: Don't Turn Your Back on the Body of Christ #ChurchHurt #ChristianPodcast #PFUnfiltered #LeavingChurch #ChristianCommunity #FaithJourney #ChurchLeadership #BlackChurch #AfricanDiaspora #OnlineChurch #InternetChristianity #Deconstruction #ChristianYouTube #BibleTeaching #PastorFemi #NewCovenantHouse #FaithAndCulture #ChurchAccountability #ForgivenessInChurch #ChristianConversations
